The New Canada

Greetings one and all and welcome to this week's edition of Laura's Links. I'll start off by riffing a little on Mark's theme of "as I said twenty years ago". My variation on that theme has been trying to explain very slooooooowly to anyone who will listen, for the past twenty or so years, that Canada is going the way of Europe...
